Bobst will showcase its latest inline flexo and digital printing innovations at Labelexpo in Chicago this September, focusing on simplifying label production through digitalization, automation, connectivity, and sustainability.
Labelexpo Americas 2024, from 10-12 September, is a key event for Bobst as it advances its packaging industry vision. Following the new Competence Center in Atlanta, Bobst’s North American team will be at Stand 5601, showcasing live demonstrations of the Bobst Digital Master 340.
“Labelexpo is an unmissable event for anyone in the label and packaging sector,” said Bobst Label Zone business director for North America, Matt Bennett. “For the 2024 edition, Bobst comes to the show with a raft of label innovations. We look forward to showcasing multiple exciting features, and recently introduced solutions designed to extend capabilities in labels and packaging production for our customers.”
At Labelexpo, Bobst will showcase its new Bobst Connect and prepress features, designed to accelerate job preparation and completion with less reliance on operator skills. Visitors can experience demos highlighting the latest updates, including enhanced equipment monitoring capabilities that offer detailed data insights, performance management KPIs, and job inspection reports. These innovations, supported by an extensive network of industry partners, aim to create a more connected and efficient production floor.
The Digital Master 340 will demonstrate Bobst’s All-in-One label production concept with printing, finishing, die-cutting and quality control in a single pass. As every machine in the Digital Master series, it features Accucheck, Bobst proprietary inline inspection and calibration system. It also comes with full digital automation on all print and finishing modules, controlled via a single user-friendly interface that offers cloud-connectivity to Bobst Connect and third-party MIS integration.
Accucheck has been updated with new automatic quality inspection set-up and job queue synchronization, allowing customers to inspect every single job effortlessly. Calibration improvements include a new color uniformity feature, while advanced color-to-color registration now performs calibration in just 15 minutes. Additionally, the enhanced automatic nozzle compensation now includes deviated nozzles alongside missing ones.
Bobst’s label solutions are intended to address three major pain points: ease of use, workflow integration and color consistency across all technologies. In this regard, Bobst experts will be ready to discuss oneECG (Extended Color Gamut) printing technology for inline flexo presses which brings significant savings and sustainability benefits alongside improved color consistency.
